>> There's a classic AES Paper from the '70s by E.E. Prof R. A. Greiner (now emeritus) who was at Univ of Wis at Madison showing conclusively that exotic loudspeaker cables are a complete waste of money, and the only thing that matters for real world loudspeakers is low DC resistance. In other words, short, fat copper.  The thing it affects is "damping factor" -- that is, the ability of the very low Z output stage to damp a floppy woofer. Damping factor is, by definition, the Z of the loudspeaker divided by the sum of the output Z of the amplifier plus the resistance of the cable, and it's low frequencies we're talking about, so it's DCR.
